Safety and Hearing Protection

Plugfones are designed to provide hearing protection in noisy environments. They are tested and compliant with ANSI S3.19-1974 noise reduction standards and meet NIOSH criteria.

Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Plugfones Sovereign, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the earplug tips with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the earplugs. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Always store the earplugs in their charging case when not in use. This protects them from dust, debris, and physical damage, and keeps them charged.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the earplugs or charging case to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Plugfones Sovereign, try the following solutions:

• No Power/Not Charging: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Verify that the earplugs are correctly seated in the charging case. Check the charging indicator lights.
• Cannot Pair: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the earplugs are in pairing mode (open the case). Try turning Bluetooth off and on again on your device. If issues persist, try unpairing and re-pairing the earplugs.
• No Sound/Low Volume: Check the volume levels on both your device and the earplugs. Ensure the earplugs are properly seated in your ears to create a good seal.
• Intermittent Connection: Ensure your device is within the Bluetooth range (typically 10 meters or 33 feet) and there are no significant obstructions.
